Tun QUESTION of the apportionment of the State Senate met a satisfactory solution in the . Constitutional Con- vention last Saturday, when it was decided that no county should have more than one Senator and the number of Senators is for the present fixed at sixteen. This plan is not sat- isfactory to the counties of Lewis and Clark, Silver Bow, and Deer Lodge, and perhaps not to people who believe that might makes right. But it is the only plan by which the weaker °mili- tia, can protect themselves against the reity of the stronger. Without such an apportionment as this prac- tically in effect in the Legislative . Council, Jefferson county would to- day be shorn of a considerable portion of her Territory and perhaps entirely 'destroyed. There is no necessity of two branches of the Legislature unless the membership of one branch is based on something besides population. As long as there are vastly different in- terests controlled by selfish or grasp- ing men, so long will it be necessary to have the separate interests repre- sented in one branch of the Legislature on an equal footing. It is only nec- essary to call attention to the Legis- lature of four years ago, when it was facetiously suggested that the motto of the Territory be changed from \Gold and Silver\ to \Hoofs and Horns,\ to prove this. The zuluing industry, which is now predominant, is just as selfish and greedy as the cattle or the agricultural interests, and the people generally need to be protected against the greed of any and all of them. CONSTITUTIONAL CONVENTION On Friday, August 2d, the commit- tee on mining and water rights re- ported adversely on Robinson's propo- sition concerning water rights. Warren, of Silvcr Pew, offered- a resolution asking thl. Treaury De- partment to make a ruling which would' prevent the introduction of Mexiein lead ore> free of duty. Re- ferred to the committee on mining and water -rights. Marshall, of Missoula, offered proposition that school -lands in or near 'city limite should not. be sold at leas than $50 an acre, in not more than live -acre lots, and that not more than une -half of such tracta should be, sold before the year 1895. Referred. The Convention went into the com- mittee of the whole ou the legislative article. The members from the coun- ties having a large population attempt - to have the section prescribing the number of members in each home re- ferred to the apportionment commit- tee, but failed in the effort. The number of membera in the house of Representatives was increstaed to fif- ty-five. Vaeioue minor amendments were proposed ad rejected. The time for the regular elusion of the Legislature to begin was changed to the first Monday in January. Middletchz tried to have stricken out the section against bribery / but Waif unsuccessful. • 'T.),e . committee then epee and re- ported' the. article for the considera- tion of the Convention. Reek, of Deer Lodge, inco. , d to reconsider the vöte by which the sec- tion exempting ditch companies from taxation except oit net earnings was lost, and the motion prevailed. Con- sideration of the section was made the special order fur Tuesday morn- ing. Consideration ,,of the Legislative article was thee taken up and J. K. Toole, of Lewis and Clark, moved to amend by making the number of State Senators twenty-six instead of sixteen, apportioning them according to population, no county to have less than one. The proposition was sup- ported by the members from Lewis and Clark, Silver Bow, and Deer Lodge, and opposed by the members from the counties having the smaller population. After quite a struggle, ti'.' Couvention idjourned without taking filial action on the proposition. On Saturday, August 3d, the saine question was up and- the members from Ole counties 'other than those meutioned above cut short debate and further consideration by moving the previous question and adopting the plan reported by the committee, which gives each county one senator. The vote ou the proposition was is follows: Ayes — Bickford, Breen, Buford, Burieigh,•Ed. Burns. Callaway, Card- well, Cauby, Conrad, Cooper, Dyer, Eaton, Fields, Goddard, Hammond, Hartman, Haskell, Hateh, Hickman, Hobson, Joy, Joyes, Kanonse, Ken- nedy, Knippeuberg, Kuhns, Loud, Luce, Marion, Marshall, McAdow, Middleton, Mitchell, Myers, Parberry, Ramsdell, Rotwitt, Sergeant, Watson, Whitehill, Witter. -41. Noes—Aiken, Brazenon, Burns, A. F., Beres, A. J., Carpenter, Chem - man, Courtney, Craven, Dixon, Dur - fee, Gaylord, Ilenslifield, Hogan, Knowles, Magiunis, Mayger, Muth, Reek, Robinson, Schmidt, Stapleton, Took, J. K., Warren, Winston, Mr. President -25. Absent—Bullard, Graves -2. Paired—Gibson Gillette, Rickards, Collins, Browne, J. R. Toole. It will he noticed that every man who voted against the proposition is frein one of the three counties, as are those who paired against it, while the inetobers from those counties who voted for the proposition were Ed. Burns, Con. Kohrs, and H. R. White - hill, of Deer Lodge, Dyer and Sar- geant, of Silver row, and Milton Cituby, of Lewis and Clark. Dixon, from the judiciary commit- tee,• reported' in the matter of the resolution relating to Indian reserva- tions, recommending that no action be taken, and that the resolution ac- companying Gen. Ruger's communi- cation referring to the jurielictiodof United State• courts over military reservations be adopted. The report was received and adopted. Marshall offered a proposition, in reference to public lands. It recom- mends the clasXecation of the lands granted to the Stale. It divides them into the following classes: let class. Grazing lands, which sha not be sold, but leased, 211 'Timber lands, which may be seld,_o the timber thereon, under proper laws. 3d. Agricultural lands, which may be sold or leased under regulations of laws. • 4th. Lands within corporate lim- its of any incorporated town or city, or within a mile of such limits, worth mere than 850 an acre; which shall not be mold in lots larger than five acres, and not more than half of them shill be sold by 1895. No lands shall be leased for less than 810 an.acre, and the lease shall not extend over five years. Marshall's proposition was ordered printed and will be considered with proposition 23. On Monday, August 5th, Sergeant, of Silver Bow. explained that he voted in favor of the proposition that each county should have but one Senator in order that he might have the right to move for a reconsidera- tion of the vote. Maginnia's proposition allowing municipalities to incur indebtedness for a water supply, was favorably re- ported and adopted. Collins, from the committee as finances, made a report recommending that the fee system be abolished and all officers be paid a salary. The article on the Legislative De- partment of the State Was adopted by a vote' of forty to twenty-four, with eleven absentees. The article on miscellaneous sub- jects was considered. The section against allowing free passes to State, county, and municipal officers was stricken out by a vote of thirty-three to twenty-eight., fourteen members be- ing absent or not voting. An effort to strike out the sectioe prescribing that officers must swear that they have not paid any money to secure nomi- nation or election was unsuccessful, as was also an effort to make a major- ity of the Legislature only necessary etibmit an amendment to the peo- ple, instead of two-thirds, as the arti- cle requires. The article was then ad lpted. In committee of the whole, the ar- ticles on public lands and homestead exemptions were considered. Luce moved that a two -third vote should be necessary to change a county -seat, but this motion was defeated. 'The article requires a majority vote. Conrad's proposition that no new counties should be formed unless they bad $3,000,000 in assessable preperty, was defeated. An effort was made to make the teen of County Commis- sioners two years, but this was de- feated and six years was made the term of the* officers. Various other amendments of an unimportant char- acter were made, after which an ad- journment was had. POLITICAL NOTES. Good Democrats are talking of W. C. Whaley, of Bedford, for one or other of the more importaet county offices. Hon. Hiram Knowles, of Butte, is understood to be on the slate of the Republican, managers for the guber- natorial nomination. E. P. Durnee, of Placer, is talked' of to make.the istœ again against his his old opponent, Dan McNeill, for the County Treasurership. Mr. Heber - Clayton, of Radereburg, hoe been frequently mentioned in con- nection with a Legislative nomination on the Republican ticket. The Bitter Root Bugle nominates D. J. Bailey, formerly of Jefferson coon- ty, for the Democratic nomination for Treasurer of Istiseoula county. Dan. McNeill and Charley Stevens -can bave tile Republican nomination for their respective offices for the ask- ing. Both will probably he candidates. Alex. T. Vest has been spoken of by his Boulder friends as a pretty good man to take the Democratic nomina- tion for Clerk and Recorder of Jeffer- son county. •• The name of H. S. Houghton, Esq., of Red Rock. up the Boulder cation, has been favorably mentioned for the Republican námivation for Sheriff of Jefferson county. Vining A. Cook will probably be, a candidate for renomination for the of- fice of County Assessor. E. R. Dean, of Wickes, is also spoken of for the Republican nomination for that office. Davis Turner, Esq., of Mitchell Gulch, and Wm. V. Myers, Esq., of ( Crow Creek, are favorably spoken of by Republicans all over the coun- ty for Legislative nominations . this I month. The Wickes Democrats will proba- bly present the name of Wm. B. Gor- don for nomination as a County Com- missioner. He is said to be a sterling, reliable, thorough -going business man who would make a superior officer. Chas. Z. Pond, of Jefferson City, will be a candidate for the Democrat- ic nomination for Clerk and Recorder of Jefferson county. The gentleman is thoroughly competent for the posi- tion and will doubtless make a good race if he receives the nomination. Sheriff Dodley Raiford will come I before the Democratic county conven- tion for renomination and his chances of success are note rally very good. It I is intimated, however, that he will have some opposition and Jim Bonner, of Boulder, has been mentioned for the place. The dispatches the other day an- nounced the appointment of groin. B. Warren , as postmaster at Spokane Falls, Washington Territory. This is probably the same old Tom. B. Warren who at various times resided and operated in Jefferson, 13e.averhead, and Miesoula counties, of this Terri- tory. He was a shrewd Republican wire -puller and generally placed him- self in the lead wherever he went, but he had faults and frailties which al- ways resulted in his downfall. Ile seems to be playing with his usual luck in his stew hones, where lie went only a coulees( years ago. Frank Harlow, present Deputy Dis- trict Court Clerk will doubtless be the Republican nominee for the District Court Clerkship in Jefferson county this fall. Frank made.a good run for Sheriff last fall, though his opponent made a little better run, and he will not find it 80 hard this year to win votes. The Jefferson county Democratic convention is to meet in Wickes on Satur(lay, August 24th, and the Pri- maries will be held on Saturday, Au- gitst 17th. The apportionment of delegates is one for each precinct and one for each twelve votes or major fraction thereof east for W. A. Clark last fall. WICKES BUDGET. (Special Correspondence ' of Tina Asin.) Wickes, August 4.—A very pleas- ant social time was spent on Saturday evening, the 3d, at A. O. U. W. hall. The ever-welpolue Comet Band came to the Wickes House at eight o'clock. After playing two pieces in the street, it was condueted to the above hall where the ladies had prepared a sur- prise for them. After a few remarks of welcome to the band by Wm. Bartle, the band gave a grand selec- tion of music and gave other selections during the evening. Too much praise cannot be given the boys. Prof.. Bar- nicoat deserves the support and well wishes of all for the noble work he has done in bringing the band to its present stand. During the evening ice-cream, cake, lemonade, caudies, nuts, oranges, and various good things were freely given to all. The arrange- meets wereearried out by Mrs. Mayne, 'Mrs. Greeks, Mrs. ?Aden, Mrs. Bow.;. den and others. During the evening a splendid bible was presented for the use of the M. E. church. After a few remarks by Wm. Bartle in presenting the bible to Rev. J. S. Hocking, the pastor, Mr. Hocking gave an impres- sive speech and asked for the support of all during the time lie shall be with us as pastor. Standing at each corner of 'the bible were four . little girls dressed .in. white, Kathrine Bullard, Olk Mayne, Minnie Bartle and Ada Litten; standing around them, dressed also in white, were a number of little girls, and before the bible was pre- sented they sang a Sunday school hymn. On Saturday and Sunday next the first quarterly conference of the M. E. church will take place at Wickes. Preaching Saturday evening, Sunday morning and evening by Rev. S. E. Snider, P. E. Mrs. Harry Bartell and family went to Boulder Hot Springs this week for a few (lays. We have had a great number of mining experts around the past few days. THE PARK MINE. (Montana Mining Review. Helena') Development work on the Park mine is progressing as rapidly as pos- sible and the mine is looking better than ever before. The Caine tunnel has been driven into ,the mountain 800 feet, 600 feet of which is on the lead. At the face of the tunnel the pay streak is thirteen feet wide and assays , as follows: One and one-half feet I $106.6603ix inches, 890.50; three feet, $30.00; three feet., 817.00; five feet, $8.00. The Jackson tunnel is now in 255 feet, and it is expected it will tap the vein in a short time. It will tap the lead 135 feet below the Caine tunnel. As soon as the lead is tapped by this, tunnel and the character of the ore found out, a concentrator will be erected.
